This is the way.

I mean, to your point, the MK7 is kinda just a modern MK4 at this point.

Where people just post about the problems they have with their second hand MK7s. It’s sad, but it’s our reality. Long live the classic VW

So, what is your UN identifying as?

Well, this literally took less than 30 seconds to find. One owner, and only a couple grand above OPs budget which I'm sure you can negotiate. https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/l-Used-2021-BMW-M3-c30940#listing=407977455/NONE/DEFAULT

In your price range, I'd be looking at a G80 M3.

Yeah, I had both versions. Some of the early ones didn't whistle, others did. The newer ones don't.

Borla is the way

I'd be interested to know who makes APR's springs?

Yeah, the HAS kit adjusters are at the top which end up covered but the bottom edge of the top strut mount. It’s a joke. I see Eibach on this example photo of the GC kit. No surprise there.

They advertise 5mm, so half a cm not half an inch. If they really drop the car over an inch, they have issues.

US 2019 MK7.5 Golf R (DCC) Front: 346 mm (OEM) vs 341 mm (APR) or a 5 mm reduction in CF Height 216 lbs/in (OEM) vs 323 lbs/in (APR) or a 50% increase in Spring Rate US 2019 MK7.5 Golf R (DCC) Rear: 356 mm (OEM) vs 333 mm (APR) or a 22 mm reduction in CF Height 245 lbs/in (OEM) vs 362...

Yes, this is correct. I've had two sets of Eibach springs for the MK7.5, and they were both linearly wound springs. I do see what @tigeo is talking about though. Just about every website that shows the spring presents it as a dual-rate with a progressive design. Even Eibach's website shows this...

Yes, exactly. I'm not sure if the GC kit is adjustable after installed? The HAS kit is not. I’m looking through the documentation and it seems to have changed. I don’t see the literature that specifically states adjustments are to be made off of the car. Maybe they updated the system?

I disagree. I tried the kit and hated it. It was the way they expect you to assemble the system. The rears CAN be adjusted once on the car, but I don't think you are technically supposed to. If you install the fronts and they are not even, you literally have zero access to make adjustments...
